The 2013 Grammys

What did you think of the Grammy's this year? Was it what you expected, some of the same overproduced stuff you can hear on the top 40 radio charts? Or, did it have a hint of unbridled class that pushed the music industry envelope? I think the latter is more accurate. Sure, there were plenty of moments that had too much of the same pop tinge with lots of A/V spectacle (AKA Taylor, Bruno, Rihanna, Justin, Frank Ocean, etc.), but there were other moments that had taste and compassion. Moments that touched upon the heart of The Grammy's. I'm talking about when Brittany Howard (Alabama Shakes) tore it up and Mavis Staples let loose during the cover song tribute "The Weight". This literally turned my Grammy experience around! What power and emotion... I loved it when Mavis just kept going after the song was over! She was feelin' it... and so was everyone else:
